About me

I'm a recent transplant to the big city of Minneapolis from a small town one hour north where I worked for nine years as the assistant editor of my hometown newspaper. Since moving, I've begun writing for the Longfellow/Nokomis Messenger, as well as the Twin Cities Daily Planet.

I have been teaching journalism classes at Anoka-Ramsey Community College - Cambridge Campus for six years.

I blog at DrivingWithTheWindowsWideOpen.blogspot.com and winemommies.com/.

I'm looking forward to learning more about the Standish neighborhood and sharing it here. If you know of something going on, whether its an event or an issue, please email me at tesha.christensen@gmail.com.
